New year resolution ?

Happy New Year

OK,the new year has begun and its that time of the year where we see people making new year resolution but whats the new year resolution all about ?

where did it all begin?Why and what are the weirdest new year resolution .
And is it all about waiting for the year to begin or  is about having a self-improvement 
 
  New Year’s resolution is a secular tradition, most common in the western hemisphere such as opening doors for people beginning from New Year ’s Day 
The ancient Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts

The Romans began each year by making promises to the god Janus , for whom the month of January is named.

In the  Medieval era, the knights took the “ peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to Chivalry .

At watch night services , many christians   prepare for the year ahead by praying and making these resolutions.

There are other religious parallels to this tradition. During Judaism’s New Year, Rosh hashanah , through the high holidays and culminating in Yom kippur  (the Day of Atonement), one is to reflect upon one’s wrongdoings over the year and both seek and offer forgiveness. People may act similarly during the catholic  fasting period of Lent  , though the motive behind this holiday is more of sacrifice than of responsibility, in fact the practice of New Year’s resolutions partially came from the Lenten sacrifices.The concept, regardless of creed, is to reflect upon self-improvement annually.

Quoting Frank Ra (author of the new year’s resolution book “A course in happiness” “Resolutions are more sustainable when shared, both in terms of with whom you share the benefits of your resolution, and with whom you share the path of maintaining your resolution. Peer-support makes a difference in success rate with new year’s resolutions”. It is also noted that talking with a counselor about setting goals and new year resolutions can help you keep those resolutions.

In short Resolution are individuals target for a period of time ,just like sales target for salesman .

Sachin Tendulkar -“good things do come in small packages”

“Good things do some in small packages”
When a 16 year old kid 5″5 ft walked in to the crease in 89″ who would have thought he would have a journey of 24 years with excitement ,fun ,drama ,action all that a masala movie would have in 3 hr this guy had it all he was none other than Sachin Tendulkar .
Sachin Tendulkar ,is not going to be seen again on the field from now onwards ,but he has was one of the players ,who has given us so much moments to remember through out our childhood .And a career spanning 24 years just tells us “he was 16 years old with 24 years of experience “.He was also one player ,who just did what he knew – that was to play cricket .
He Sachin Tendulkar is a brand for the country who has changed our national sport from hockey to cricket ,you would hardly see people watching hockey ,but cricket everybody did .He has been an inspiration for so many that the current Indian team have all been inspired by him to be part of the game .
Sachin Tendulkar has created so many milestone and records that there isn’t any point in watching the game because they won’t be broken.
He had the passion,dedication that showed by he played ,even during his comeback from injury he was written off ,but it did not matter .
There will be no one like Sachin,nor would there be another Sachin .
Because Sach people are rare!!!

Coffee

the coffeeThe coffee …well din’t know that coffee is also made from Luwak shit .it was in my recent vacation when we had a stop over @ a coffee plantation sight .the first step. Being collecting the shit (poo)
Of Luwak and drying it,clean it .
Second being collecting the seed
And then opening the beans were open and kept aside and then roasting it until they become black brown and finally powderd .
Well the point is not telling you how the coffee is made but telling you that when we realised that the coffee is made like this and being really expensive .
The whole thought of knowing that this coffee is made is this it really make you think we’ll the coffee is actually like .and the psychology factor disturb you so much that you really can’t think of having it again.so how are the other best things made is the BIG ?
